FKS Brakes

My brakes got messed up today, looking to see if this is something I can easily fix or if I need them replaced. I bought these like 4 months ago, so I guess I can warranty them if this is serious?

story ; Landed switch while leaning foward, ski popped off, when I got to it I realized the brakes are bend the opposite way. The guy at the mountain shop told me I can try bending them back once my skis warm up (cold night), and if that doesn't work they could replacement for like $12. I've tried bending a little but just gave up as it seems to useless, but they were bent like normal brakes are except in the opposite direction, rather then being closer to vertical as they are now.

Some pictures:

2) thats how they stand right now on their own

3) pushing down on the ski, far as they go. I've tried stepping the boot in, still just goes that far

I can still go to the shop I got them mounted at, 2-3 weeks ago, if there's any point in that. I don't really think it's anyones fault from what I understand. If they actually are bent, I think I just released and was still push down on the ski as the brake dug in, thus bending them directly the other way.

Obviously you can't ski with them like that, so there's no harm in trying to fix it. Try putting your boot in the binding, then taking a broken ski pole (or something similar) and bending them back up into position. This should work because it would push down if you're doing it right, but definitely be careful and frequently check if anything bad is happening.

The fks heel needs to be taken off to change the brakes and the job is a real pain in the ass. I reckon the guy that you talked to doesnt know much about bindings cause fks brakes are unfindable unless you contact rossignol/look directly, they cost about 50$ a pair . Rossignol will not send you only the brakes cause they dont have any, instead they will send ya the whole rear plate on which you heel sit and in which the brake is stuck. The guy you talked to is definitively lost or stoned!

i''m guessing he is going to charge you more than 12 bucks to fix it, but i'd still rather have a shop tech do it than doing it again (I bent my own fks breaks by complete dissassembly and it was a nightmare)

Alright so I just worked my ass off with a wrench and warmed everything up with a hairdryer, which likely did nothing, but I got them bended most of the way.

Came out with this. Seems to be pretty satisfactory, but any comments on whether you think it'll drag or not? They stay out a little outside the ski, but they stay at the top which is why I think I should be fine. I can see myself having possible problems if I catch them on something vertical on the side but I can't think of a time when that'll happen.

They look nearly identical to the ones that are fine. I'm not sure if there's any other method I can use to try to get them to come in a little more once the boots down. I can't get a good angle to bend them at, and I'm afraid if I bend them too much then they won't even come down. I could potentially cut them in half but I don't know if that'll do any good.

I used a the end of a wrench like this:

bigger the better. First I just put the brake into the loop and pulled up. I just now got them perfectly bent, exactly back to how they were, even better IMO. I stuck the loop in such that the wrench is hanging down, and just lay the ski flat on the floor and push down so that the wrench is appearing to bend the brake at the halfway point, ended up pushing them above the ski, with no actual bend halfway through.
